<p>Is it worth it to attend UC Davis if I want to major in business? Or should I look onto other Universities, since Davis does not have an undergrad school for business.</p>
<p>Hey I was admitted to Davis and I’ll be going there this fall! (maybe unless Irvine accepts me from the waitlist but that’s another story)</p>
<p>Anyways, if you’re looking to major in Business Administration, Davis does not offer that. If you’re looking to go on with an MBA, look into majoring in Managerial Economics. Several sources have told me that it’s good prep for an MBA and teaches you lots of analytical skills. Problem is that it’s not too popular at Davis and out of college you’re looking at analyst or finance jobs (someone who is studying ManEcon right now can tell me otherwise if this isn’t the case).</p>
<p>I was admitted for Pre-ManEcon (thought it was what I wanted) but I’m looking to switch to Computer Science and then minor in Technology Management, which is offered by Davis’ graduate business school. Too bad they don’t offer a major for it :(</p>
<p>I have submitted a Tag agreement for UC Davis. I plan to attend UCD for managerial economics, unless I’m given the opportunity to attend UCB,UCLA or UCSD. My mother hired two managerial economics major from UCD, for a financial analyst positions. This is consistent with the info above. After speaking with a UCD admissions rep I was informed that managerial econ is UCD’s form of a business degree.</p>
<p>Hmm… I suggest you look for other school. I am also want to majoring accounting, but they don’t offer any course. I might have to take it at extension. However, I’ll still go to Davis, since it’s pretty good school and I need my degree. However, I’m still waiting on UCI and UCSD and if I make any of those school, I’ll probably go there.</p>
<p>for business in general, your major doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>what matters</p>
<p>Work/Internship experience
Uni you attend
GPA</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Major…</p>
<p>major is at the bottom of the list.</p>
<p>Having a “good” major can help show interest but the difference between a guy who majored in econ, business administration, managerial econ, accounting, finance, math/econ and similar is unquantifiable. NO ONE CARES. You don’t really gain any valuable skills by studying those things. I knew about as much about business as most bus admin majors(I’m at UCI) when I was 16. Employers realize this… (admittedly if you’re eligible to sit for the CPA that’s another story, and if you major in something technical like applied math, statistics, IEOR or similar you might have an edge but those are generally rigorous studies and go against the high GPA thing and might take time from gaining work experience)</p>
<p>My background
Quantitative Economics major, minors in Accounting(eligible to sit for CPA, and only 4 classes away from finishing the Bus Admin major though I wasn’t admitted into it) and Statistics(no FULL stats major here)</p>
<p>If I had it to do over again, I would’ve majored in Economics, inflated my GPA and enjoyed life a lot more.</p>
<p>xelink is right. It is not the major, the school, or the degree that will get the job, it’s the person. Any of those majors will work. My daughter is about to graduate from UCLA in communications. She has had, in the last 2 years, 4 internships at very well known Advertising companies. She has already gone out to 4 informational interviews at Ad companies in SF (near where we live) while the HR people may have been impressed with UCLA what they were most interested in was exactly and specifically what she did as an intern, that she new the “vocabulary” and that she had solid recommendations from those internships. So major in the closest major to what you want but spend your last two years working at as many internships that you can. Even unpaid internships will pay back huge dividends later.</p>
